"The first time I saw all those copies of 'The Audacity of Hope' in bookstores back then, I knew exactly what was coming, right down to the subsidization of insurance premiums for individuals with income up to 400% of the poverty line, as well as single adults. I figured there was no point in wasting time. By the way, I hope you're not planning a cruise vacation next year."

I can recall two pharmacy patients so far who've made similar comments. One (a middle-aged black lady on Medicaid) wanted to know why her "Obamacare" wouldn't cover something or other. The other was an older white guy, had a Teabagger personality, who was complaining that Obamacare raised his copay (which in point of fact had NOT risen on the med in question in over two years...)

Welcome to my whining!
